Be a Hearthstone Grandmaster.

There are only so many people that fit the last listed criteria, but yes, the majority of the Grandmasters roster is expected to be there—including a local Bucharest Grandmaster by the name of Dima "Rdu" Radu. The city was home to one of the first large open Hearthstone LAN events in 2014 at DreamHack Bucharest, and the country has hosted countless tournaments since. In this respect, Hearthstone esports is very much returning to its roots in Romania for our European stop of the 2019 Masters Tour.

Registration for online Masters Qualifiers will open automatically two weeks ahead of each tournament start date. The first event will begin on July 4 at 6pm PT on the Asia-Pacific server. You can browse the full schedule of Masters Qualifiers that feed into the event on Battlefy.
